He writes: "During a heavy February snowstorm, the wind left behind deep drifts, some rippling across the yard, others forming huge waves, the top curled and frozen over, a surfer's "tube" intact. Upon completion, the windy snowfall took on sensuous, soft, surreal, and sometimes suggestive sensibilities."
